Given that it’s National Asthma Month we wanted to share a guide of questions to consider asking your doctor or nurse from lifescript.com. Around the home:

• Can we have a pet? In the house or outside?
• Is it okay for anyone to smoke in the house?
• Is it okay for me to clean and vacuum when my child is in the house?
• Is it okay to have carpets in the house?
• How do I get rid of dust and mold in the house? Do I need to cover my child’s bed or pillows?
• Can my child have stuffed animals?

My child’s school:

• Do I need to have an asthma plan for the school?
• How can I make sure my child can use the medicines at school?
• Can my child participate fully in gym class at school?

Exercise:

• Are there times when my child should avoid being outside?
• Are there things that I can do before my child starts exercising?
